With Charice just wrapping up a visit to Korea on several television shows which will air later this month, this Korean documentary has resurfaced on YouTube which featured Charice way back in early 2008. We were asked to post it at Charicemania so here it is, the article we wrote awhile back, for all older and newer chasters alike to enjoy!
…
It was only two years ago today, on October 13, 2007, that Charice made her first ‘special guest’ appearance on the Korean talent show, Star King. Her explosive performance of ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,’ her sweet duet singing ‘A Whole New World’ with Korean star, Kyuhyun from SuperJunior, and her easy banter with the host and judges simply charmed the Korean audience. She became a YouTube Internet sensation, generating 13 million hits and scoring an invitation to the Ellen show in her first appearance on U.S. television on December 19, 2007, and her first-ever visit to America.
Following the Ellen show , she appeared for a second time on StarKing on December 28, 2007, after being voted the Most Requested Foreign Act of 2007. And shortly after, a Korean television crew paid Charice a visit to the Philippines to do a mini-documentary of her career and how it all came about through the efforts of one enterprising fan, FalseVoice.
A timely video of that documentary is now available with an English translation. With her subsequent appearance on the Oprah show , on May 12, 2008, the rest as they say is history!

Hey guys, I think it would be nice if Super Junior would come here in the Philippines so that they could see how many great performers we have here… And may be they could be invited to perform in ASAP with our very own charice.. (Wow! I could not wait to see it) It will be really really great and I will not miss watching it! HAHAHAHA!
Just thinking.. Who will agree to me??
Maybe, we could post a request to ABS-CBN to make it happen… hehehe

her a vocal coach Eric Vetro I think is the name, she said that this vocal coach is primarily a Broadway Musical kind of songs or style.
I was just wondering if they already had “GLEE” in mind back then.
It’s very interesting if they had everything planned all along. Just an observation, that’s all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfVUd1TrIrI&feature=related

I like to think that the love affair that Charice ignited with Koreans translated to a better appreciation of Filipinos in their midst. This documentary will help consolidate those gains.
I know first hand how Lea Salonga improved the image of Filipinos in England when she landed the role of Miss Saigon. Our neighbor became more outgoing toward us because they wanted someone to hear how much they loved her. We were the closest they could get to Lea.
I like to think that their lot

eve@17: every now and then, new users join the group, in small trickles as they individually discover Charice, or in waves, as a result of a major appearance by Charice (like the Big E event). Some we know about because of articles submitted of how they have just discovered Charice (like the one in Brazil) and these are interesting because they remind us of how we ourselves felt when we first discovered her. Some remain in lurk mode, silently reviewing the archived articles, viewing old videos, and when they are compelled to comment, do so.
I initially likened this to a train where people get on board, and we welcome them. But I realize it is more like a big carrousel, where people get on and off, and which gets bigger as more articles get posted. People who board later will have more material to catch up with, and re-posts of events like the one you posted help them feel at home and set some historical context, as well as mark significant milestones for us all. As well, this historical reflection might well inspire someone to write a new article with a new twist.
Hmm, guess I should have called this ‘Happy Anniversary Charice’ cuz that was really my intent in posting this article two years to the date of her first StarKing appearance. Especially since the documentary was actually filmed a while ago, some of you are complaining that it’s redundant. However, this is the first time I have ever seen it in English! And it has over 3000 hits on it now, within the past 2 days, so I suspect there are probably a lot of other readers who’ve never seen it either. While every Filipino has probably seen this all over the place in the Philippines where Charice seems to make the daily news (translated into Tagalog perhaps?), that’s not the case here in America. A Korean documentary would not even merit a mention, especially if it’s in Korean without even English subtitles.
Now Jezet@9 asked if we can at least publish a new article that will inspire every Chaster? Well, the same day that you posed that question, there were 4 other articles posted that day. Does that mean that you did not enjoy the one about Brazil or Has Charice Touched Your Life? Or my favorite just last week-Charice, You Made Me Smile. That one actually made me cry. 28 articles have already been posted since October 1st, including Bridging The Gap, Walking Tall, and the very touching NTG duet with Lisa Smith. If none of these have inspired you, I don’t know what else we can do for you.
The difficulty of pleasing everybody is that Charice is gaining so many new fans every day that the readers here are at different stages of “chaddiction” and thirst for knowledge. The NTG video has jumped from 567000 views on Sept 2nd to 923,290 views as of 10/13/2009 2:00AM, because of the repeat Oprah episode that was shown on Sept 3rd. That’s a whopping 63% increase or +356000 views in just 42 days! Charice’s Twitter likewise has also increased by 1000 followers since the beginning of this month (they track it over at charicediva). It now stands at 10727 followers – see twitter.com/officialcharice
This article is written for all of you new fans who appreciate seeing these ‘old’ videos for the very first time. And it’s written also for the oldtimers who might enjoy reminiscing about Charice’s spectacular StarKing performance that started the ball rolling for her. That video, btw, has enjoyed a surge of 3300 hits since this article was posted (164298 two days ago, now at 167552 views). That’s a pretty big jump for an old video. Do you think that might be influenced by the video being posted here at CM? We average 7-10,000 daily views, you betcha it does!
The volunteer staff at charicemania are dedicated to finding interesting articles to share with you here and keeping you posted on appearances, contests, interviews, concert dates, etc. That’s why our site is called “the one-stop source for all things charice.” But it’s impossible to please everyone all the time. To the oldtimers, I’d like to say a big “thank you” for being gracious enough to overlook the “redundancy” that may occur at times. Sorry if I haven’t been around long enough to know any better, heh heh. I post stuff that’s interesting to me, and I just hope it’ll be interesting to some of you as well.
If you want to see your own stories get posted, then by all means, hit the ‘contact us’ button above to see how you can get involved and join the staff! If you’re not willing to do that, then I suggest the cafeteria plan to you: just read the articles that interest you and skip the ones that don’t. It’s as simple as that! (I’ll resist saying, keep your negative comments to yourself… oops, I just did, my bad) Peace out, Eve

Amen to that Eeves I have been in Charicemania websites since beggining of last year although I have been following Charice career since first time I saw her in Ellen De Generes Show. Even I have been fan for a long time, I come to this website just to read new column of Charice, or watch for new link.
I like this website because most of Chasters posted are still encouraging and the reason I what you called “babad” now in my computer. I am still not updated for all apps here but Im happy as long I have something to read nice about Charice. It is bad enough you watch bad news all the time, at least when I see Charice is hopeful for me.

Eve@6 – I’ve seen that video sometime back, and what stuck to my mind is the part at 4:40 where she chants “mamaya!” (later) when being taunted by the kids for her to sing. Even when she is playing, the power of her voice comes out, with no effort at all.
Charice is pretty

It is like viewing an “epic” movie starring Charice. She really sizzled and her voice was so fresh then and she is getting better each show.
These people who was able to be there for these performances & witness her from their front row seat were the luckiest people. I can only imagine the goosebumps and emotions that they felt that time. It must have been like seeing MJ perform for the first time.
Thank you Falsevoice & Star King. You are pioneers for Charice and the world appreciates you.

Thank you, Biggie @4, for clarifying the context of the documentary. Does that mean the whole thing is available in English somewhere? Someone – give it up, hehe. That would be nice to see. But I am happy to see this short clip of Charice and her playfulness when she yells out to the kids, “later… later… later.” lol
Yes, the clip was some time ago, which is why I wrote “a short time after” her 2nd appearance on StarKing… but I had never seen it in English, just Korean. FINALLY, I know what they’re saying, to learn how dedicated Charice and her Mom are to practice and train and perfect her performance 2-3 hours day.
Charice is gaining fans by leaps and bounds, likewise many are discovering charicemania. I remember searching for YouTube videos of Charice when I first saw her perform Note To God on Oprah. And I remember finding the FULL version of her first StarKing appearance, when I first realized how charming and natural and charismatic this little girl was as a performer, the force of her personality was so irresistible. She charmed me just like the Koreans, and I was just so amazed, I think that’s when my chaddiction started! And I’m glad I found charicemania to fill in the background story to some of the videos.
So to the new chasters out there, enjoy StarKing, you’re gonna love it! And congratulations, Charice, on two whirlwind years. You deserve all the accolades and riches for all of your hard work. Stay sweet and humble.
Love you Charice! Eve

It’s kind of dated (post Ellen and prior to Paul O’Grady).
The documentary is about the Filipino’s love and talent for music.
